Mostly though, this thriller chronicles the beleaguered journalist's lame efforts to stay out of trouble. Starkey isn't exactly a man of action; in fact, he's a likable character partly because he knows he's a weak man. Late in the book, Starkey sums up his predicament: "The world was still after me, Patricia was still missing, I was still a killer on the run, and I had a disturbing tendency to burst into tears, but I wasn't going to let little things like that get me down." He copes with stress by 1) drinking too much and 2) making jokes. When a nun in a miniature car saves Starkey from a hail of gunfire, for instance, he spends a few moments wondering what the proper name of her headgear is and decides to call it a Godpiece. Dan Starkey makes an entertaining guide to war-torn Northern Ireland, even while he discovers again and again that the pen is not mightier than the sword. --Jill Marquis

Return costs are expensive especially overseas and small bookshops struggle to make money as it is.
Postage costs vary according to weight and size of the items. I use royal mail and only charge the actual costs. I don't have any control over when international orders will arrive especially if sent economy. They quote 2-12 weeks time for economy post which is the cheapest postage costs which are almost never enough to cover the actual costs. If it's a thin light books it may be cheaper and more affordable to send on the faster services. Be aware that large heavy books and sets may incur extra postage charges especially if postage is international. If you think it's a heavy books please confirm postage price before purchase if cost is an issure.
